The Australian Museum Mammalogy Collection holds ten specimens of the Bramble Cay Melomys collected from 1922–24, when they were in abundance. One hundred years later, a familiar photo of a wide-eyed, mosaic-tailed Melomys, the first native mammal to become extinct due to the impacts of climate change, greets me as I enter the Arts House foyer. A small, nocturnal mammal with a heavy title, rising sea levels lead to the destruction of their secluded habitat, as saltwater intrusions ate away at the coral cay (small, low island).[1] Losing 97% of the herbaceous vegetation, which would have provided the Bramble Cay Melomys with protection and food, through inaction and political floundering, we sealed their fate.[2]
